public class Main {    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Esta es una pequena aplicacion para mostrar los");
        System.out.println("distintos tipos de datos que existen en Java 6.");

        //boolean, char, byte, short, int, long, float, double, String

        ejemplosBoolean();
    }

    public void ejemplosBoolean(){

    }

}

So, I’m just testing some things out, but I’m getting an error claiming that I’m trying to run ejemplosBoolean() in a static context when it isn’t a static method.

My question is, in Java do methods have to have static in order to use them even if they are in the same class?

Answer 1

Sergio, you are running a non static method within a static method, if you want ejemplosBoolean() make it public static void ejemplosBoolean().
